Pulau Ketam, Here We Come!

I believe many of you have heard about Pulau Ketam, it is a small fishing village island which is 30 mins away from the Port Klang Jetty if you are taking a speed boat there. It's the Raya public holidays again~ and Frag's friend, Joelle came up with a plan that we all should head there for a day's trip!

As everything was confirmed on the following day, things started with 6 of us including Frag's ex-colleagues to gather at the Organiser's place at 9 a.m. in the morning, then head off to SS2 for our breakfast before shooting down to Klang.

As we reached there, there were already a huge crowd waiting / heading to Pulau Ketam, in fact we queued up for an one hour & half just for the arrival of ferry. Crazy! We actually waited for 3 rounds to secure ourself into the ferry. It was extraordinary packed that day.

The ferry that we boarded was moving slow when it reached a certain area of the sea, that was because of the tide out and the sea level was too shallow. By 1p.m. we had reached the island, the first thing we did were to go for LUNCH! We had a nice seafood meal in a restaurant right after the jetty, I wont say it is very cheap judging by the standard over there~! 

We then took our sweet time walking and exploring around the village. There are a few temples in the island and a lot of people especially locals, moving around with their only mode of transportation... bicycles! Saw a loads of nice houses and boats as well. We walked around till it was 4.30p.m. then we headed for the jetty, as we can see the crowd were started to Q up. The last boat to leave the island will be usually around 6.30p.m.

Take a look at the Q on the bridge~ so terrible


Finally we reached the island~


Makan time with the gang~ Yummy seafood!


A big temple in the middle of the island


Salted fish 'sunbathing'~!


Heard that people recommend this "lala Jian" and "O jian" stall is nice, so we gave it a try, but nothing impress me :(


Fresh bamboo shell clams on sale, just back from the sea!


Nice environment + view on the Crab Bridge~!


Muahaha, selfshot - just the 2 of us.


We all love this photo that we took~ It was starting to drizzle


Yeah, went up to a boat and fooled around!


Thanks to the boat owner allow us to take picture on his boat, the whole boat has been booked by a groom whom that time was having a wedding lunch on the island.

Anyways, it was a nice trip, different experience and we had a really good time and fun with the rest despite the sunny weather and the mad queues while waiting for ferry! :)

In The Mood For...

It is now the first day of Hari Raya and 2 days of holiday (some got 3) certainly gives us time for a relaxing break. It's been quite the opposite compared to our working days, specially my banking job. Phew...  

By the way, we just got back from a day trip with our friends from Pulau Ketam (Crab's Island), an island away from Port Klang. Will blog about it in our next post! 

Currently into listening oldies from yester years, singing along to songs from popular "legends" such as BeeGees, Barry Manilow, The Temptations, Spandau Ballet, Righteous Brothers, etc. These old songs aka goldies are certainly timeless and brings back the good old memories. (as if lah, duh!) Something certainly soothing to the ears. Ahhhh...

I dedicate this particular song by Barry Manilow (thanks to the Hellboy movie) to those who are in love, those who are enjoying life to the fullest and those enjoying their holidays. You know who you are!

Enjoy the holiday folks. :)

You know I Can't Smile Without You, 

I Can't Smile Without You, 

I can't laugh 

and I can't sing, 

I'm findin' it hard to do anything. 

You see, I feel sad when you're sad, 

I feel glad when you're glad, 

If You only knew what I'm go ing through, 

I just Can't Smile Without You. 

You came along just like a song 

and brightened my day, 

Who'd've believe that you were part of a dream 

Now it all seems light years away. 

And now you know I Can't Smile WIthout You, 

I Can't Smile Without You, 

I can't laugh and I can't sing, 

I'm finding it hard to do anything. 

You see, I feel sad when you're sad, 

I feel glad when you're glad, 

If you only knew what I"m going through, 

I just can't smile. 

Now some people say happiness takes so very long to find. 

Well I'm finding it hard leaving your love behind me. 

And you see, 

I Can't Smile Without You, 

I Can't Smile Without You, 

I can't laugh 

and I can't sing, 

I'm findin' it hard to do anything. 

Y ou see, I feel sad when you're sad, 

I feel glad when you're glad, 

If You only knew what I'm going through, 

I just Can't Smile Without You

Mooncakes from Chynna

Mooncakes. What's that?

Some of you noobs out there might ask...

Uncle Google said it's a "Chinese pastry traditionally eaten during the Mid-Autumn Festival (yup, it's on this coming weekend!). Typical mooncakes are round or rectangular pastries with thick filling usually made from lotus seed paste is surrounded by a relatively thin crust and may contain yolks".

The packaging - a long rectangular contemporary box with a iron lock. Looks like a traditional treasure chest box to me.

Introducing the Chynna Mooncakes by KL Hilton, thanks to Feebz!

The mini mooncakes printed with Chinese symbols and Chynna logo. This one comes with a single yolk - averagely sweet and taste great.

The mooncakes are placed in boxes and packed as a set, in a classic wooden chest box which makes a great collection, specially for box lovers. Haha!

Here's one that we brought back from Lavender Cake Shop & Bistro in JB. Tried samples of nearly every kind they have there and we ended up buying boxes of the normal ones for our families, plus this Strawberry Snow-skin Mooncake with black bean paste inside.

So anyone's up for a mooncake festival gathering?
Time for some mooncakes hunting!

Sweet Holidays...

Reporting live from Bamboo Hut Bistro (thank you for the free broadband internet access!) in the Aldy Hotel Melaka, situated a few blocks away after the Red Square Clock Tower by the Malacca River.

Seeing that the holidays are coming this week, the Team F&F consist of... us decided to head off here for a day doing the 'walk-walk-eat-eat' stuff in Malacca, an UNESCO world heritage historic city and followed by a trip back to Feebz's hometown in Johor Bahru. Hehe.

By the way, Jonker's Street is just a stone throws away from this hotel. So it's pretty convinient if you are into sight seeing and visiting places of interest. Will be meeting up some friends later for lunch at a place selling Satay Babis (Pork Satays), which is a must eat whenever I'm in Malacca.

So long for now peeps, enjoy your holidays & Happy Merdeka!

Yours truly...
